March is Music in Our Schools Month, and at Blue Earth Area Schools, we are truly grateful for our music programs! 🎶
From our youngest learners discovering rhythm and beat to our middle and high school students performing on stage, music connects our students, builds confidence, sparks creativity, and strengthens our school community.
A heartfelt THANK YOU to our amazing music teachers — Kristin Johnson, Paul Johnson, Peter Koenig, and Kelsey Zbaracki — for the passion, energy, and dedication you pour into our students every single day. We are so grateful for the way you inspire, challenge, and encourage our kids to shine.
Be sure to join us at one of several performances this month and celebrate the power of music with us! 🎵

A Day of Harmony at Martin Luther High School! 🎶
What an incredible day for our BEA vocalists! Following the Large Group Vocal Contest yesterday, our students stayed busy making some truly beautiful music at the Director’s Honor Choir Concert.
We are so proud of the talent and dedication these students showed while representing our school. Check out the highlights in the photos below:
📸 BEA Honor Choir Representatives: Our talented group that participated in the event.
📸 Sub-Section Power: All the honor choir students from our area performing together in one massive, moving ensemble.
📸 The Guest Maestro: A quick shot of Mr. Johnson with the guest conductor, Dr. Kurt Runestad. It was a privilege to learn from him!
📸 Featured Performance: A huge shoutout to our BEA Quartet—McKinley Hanson, Natalie Schiltz, Elaena Schiltz, and Ava Petersen—who were selected to perform as part of the concert!
Music is alive and well at BEA! 🎤👏 #BEAMusic #HonorChoir #VocalExcellence #GoBucs

Our students continue to hit all the right notes! 🎶✨
This past Saturday, eight talented musicians from BEA traveled to Bethany Lutheran College to participate in the Bethany Honors Orchestra. Under the direction of Daniel Erickson, Dr. Benjamin Faugstad, and Kristin Weise, our students joined over 120 musicians from across southern Minnesota for an intensive one-day rehearsal and performance.
These dedicated students have been practicing their music for over a month to prepare for this prestigious event. We are so proud of your hard work and the way you represent the Bucs! 👏
